Where they talk about it

Quotes

  • 21:08 "Yeah, select the the smallest price. In subcontracting we give closest match price." - Describes a key design difference from standard purchase pricing.

Caveats mentioned

  • Differs from standard purchase price logic, which picks the best price

Prerequisites mentioned

  • Subcontractor prices defined on the item

Documented features match

  • Set up and explore subcontracting more easily - low confidence (llm). Docs say: General availability, roadmap id 573353. Doc mentions prices in setup only
  • Product documentation: Set up subcontractor prices, checked 2026-10-02. The system picks the tier with the highest qualifying minimum quantity, not the tier with the lowest price. Note: Subcontracting app shipped in 2026 release wave 1 (GA 2026-07-08); article documents the app, not specifically wave 2. Article also covers minimum amount floor.

Docs checked on 2026-10-02: the match is against Microsoft's what's new pages for the wave as they were on that date. Microsoft keeps filling the documentation, so "no documented item" can go stale.
